Being a former track athlete, fitness has always been important to me.  While I was competed in long and triple jump for the University of Alabama, I became interested in coaching sports.  After graduation and working on my Masters degree in Social Work at Clark Atlanta University, I coached field events and distance in exhcange for my tuition and books.  During that time, I was also training for the 2000 Olympics in triple jump.  An unfortunate injury sidlined my olympic dreams so I put coaching to the side for a while. 

After recovering from my injury, I continued to work out but changed my focus to staff training until 2007.  While taking classes at my local YMCA, I decided to become an instructor.  The YMCA worked with me until I received my personal training certification by sending me to YMCA trainings and allowing my to sub classes til I was ready for my own class. I currently teach 5 classes of all varities.  

I currently work with two other organizations.  Just Wellness has contracts with many major local businesses (e.g Coke, Home Depot, Cox communications) I conduct classes at their on site facilities during the day. 

Fit4you is contracted with the Dekalb County school system and the instructors conduct Bootcamp classes for the employees at the school during the year.
